A major scandal has unfolded in Saint Lucia’s cultural community, as three women have come forward with shocking allegations against Dezral Long, the current holder of the coveted Power and Calypso Monarch title and 2025 Road March champion, accusing him of secretly capturing voyeuristic images of them in public and sharing the explicit photos in a large X adult content community.
The women, all unaware their photos had been taken and distributed until one discovered her image online by chance, shared their account of the ordeal in a joint official statement provided to local media outlet St Lucia Times. After the initial discovery, the group began investigating the account responsible for the posts, and uncovered even more non-consensual images of other women in their friend circle — none of whom had given permission for their photos to be captured or shared. One of the affected women was a tourist visiting Saint Lucia, who told reporters her planned relaxing vacation was instead ruined by the traumatic violation.
The images, which were first brought to public attention via leaked censored screenshots shared by an Instagram user, reportedly focus explicitly on women’s intimate lower body areas, often taken from behind. The screenshots link the account that posted the images, @juliusintuition, to Long, with evidence of account activity stretching back to 2021. The account was part of an X adult community that boasts more than 110,000 members.
Following the circulation of the screenshots, Long issued a public apology via his Instagram Stories, taking full accountability for his actions. In the brief statement, he wrote: “This is a public apology to [names omitted] for snapping and posting voyeuristic images of them to a public forum. It’s abhorrent and I take full accountability and consequence. Also apologizing to all friends, family and business for being involved in such a situation. I hope I can be forgiven. Thank you for your time.”
Beyond the immediate harm done to the women who have come forward, the group says they are deeply concerned that dozens more unknowing women may have their own non-consensual images posted on the platform. All affected women have reported ongoing feelings of violation, intense anxiety, disgust, and deep embarrassment in the wake of the discovery. One victim, who does not even reside in Saint Lucia, saw her leisure vacation to the island turn into a traumatic experience that has left her long distressed.
In their full statement, the women emphasized that their decision to speak out publicly is not intended to stir up unnecessary drama, but to push for meaningful accountability and draw attention to a pattern of behavior that demands serious intervention. “Women should be able to enjoy a day out, attend events, or even visit our island on vacation without worrying that someone may secretly photograph them and share those images online for sexual purposes,” the statement read.
Long, who also works full-time as a school teacher, is currently scheduled to defend his two cultural titles at upcoming national competitions: the National Soca Monarch contest on July 10, and the National Calypso Monarch competition on July 11. St Lucia Times has attempted to reach out to Long for additional comment beyond his initial apology, but has not received any response as of press time. The women have confirmed they have compiled screenshots and other supporting evidence linking the account to Long, and are calling for a full, thorough official investigation into the incident that matches the severity of the allegations.
